Sir Stewart Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Red Sox called up another knuckeballer to take Wake's spot tomorrow: Quote Zink will start TuesdayPosted by Amalie Benjamin, Globe Staff August 11, 2008 04:57 PM We've just been informed that knuckleballer Charlie Zink will start tomorrow night against the Rangers in place of the injured Tim Wakefield. The 28-year-old Zink is 13-4 with a 2.89 ERA in 25 games with Pawtucket this season. Charlie Zink - helluva baseball name Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 Nice blurb regarding Zink's reaction to the call-up: "This is everything I have ever dreamed of," said Zink moments ago. "It has come true now and I'm going to the major leagues. It's ridiculous. I'm at a loss for words. I really don't know what to say about it. I'll be smiling forever now. This is just awesome. Awesome." http://www.beloblog.com/ProJo_Blogs/SoxBlog/ Link to post Share on other sites

MrRain422 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 They just lost Crawford and Longoria to injuries though, so things could be rough for them down the stretch. Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully they can handle the Angels next week without him. (hopefully) Link to post Share on other sites

Oil Can Boyd Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 BOSTON (AP) -- The Boston Red Sox have acquired pitcher Paul Byrd in a trade with Cleveland. The Red Sox will send either a player to be named or cash to the Indians. The 37-year-old Byrd is 7-10 with a 4.53 ERA this season. But the right-hander has won all four of his starts since the All-Star break. Link to post Share on other sites

Gobias Industries Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 WHAT?!?!?!?!?! WHY DID WE TRADE PAUL BYRD DAMNIT I'm fine now. But not really. Our starting lineup has sucked hardcore except for Lee and Byrd and this doesn't help. Link to post Share on other sites

PigSooie Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Also, I'm glad I can't watch the Sox game because I'm blacked out of the Rangers market. Dallas is only 8 hours from here so I understand. Link to post Share on other sites
